Books such as Seymour Chatman's <i>Story and Discourse</i> go through many of the options as they develop a theory of narrative, but I don't really know of anything that is a good catalog of structures, online or in print. The most interesting-looking resource I was able to find right off is <a hfef="http://www.acmi.net.au/biteme.htm"><i>Bite Me: Narrative Structures + Buffy the Vampire Slayer,</i></a> published by the Australian Center for the Moving Image. Does anyone have any ideas? Stephen Lane, who teaches CIS 564, asked me if I knew of a good list of narrative structures to which students could refer when designing games.
